Absolute delusion. My god at least learn how to interpret the facts and save yourself some embarrassment.
Almost all growth occurring to stock value with almost no growth in wages meaning almost ALL of the growth occurs for the ultra rich. Meager changes to unemployment against the Obama administration all while the economy is being force fed billions far in excess of any previous stimulus. All of which is done at a time of economic growth which sets the economy up for a massive fall. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. The American economy is now running on candy corn and monster energy drinks.
Unfunded tax cuts that are set to expire, further draining wealth from the middle class while offering no appreciable benefit.
Almost no foreign policy wins including substantial losses in trade agreements with the richest nations on the planet. Antagonism and isolationism for developing nations resulting in reduced chance of being a part of their transition to modern economies.
No substantiative movement at all with NK other than a “summit” in which, as they always have, the NK leaders backed out (happens to almost every administration like this).
Trump might come away with looking good but only because:
- most Long term effective policies have been enacted at a state level in opposition to his national policies. Almost every blue state is going to pull, and continue to pull further ahead than their red counterparts.
- fewer people now believe America is the best place to immigrate and so it’s at multi-year lows.
- western nations have been closer and are coalescing around a more clear definition of world power.
America has been at the center of world power for 80 years now and has overseen the greatest expansion of wealth and peace the world has ever known during that time. Almost every one of trumps policies are in opposition to how you got to where you are now. How anyone can get behind him aside from a few minor business changes is beyond me.

Save yourself some embarrassment and understand economics. America is the power house that it is due to the world being capitalist. Since the world is capitalist and we protect free market trade and have less regulation, private sectors can thrive. Private sectors innovative and advance technology. The middle class has shrunk due to states like California (leftist). There was more economic spending under the Obama campaign than the Trump campaign by far.
Based on your negative outlook on everything, it sounds like you want America to fail. You don't believe in a centralized goal of harder work, free trade market that has caused America to thrive or acknowledged the private sector has helped build this country from the ground up. When you leave the oppressed, victim mindset behind, Trump isn't all that bad. Rhetoric, yes, actions, no.
To say America isn't the best place to immigrate is stupid. We have freedom of speech, freedom of trade, freedom of opportunity. You can be a white nationalist in America or you can be a black man from Uganda. How many countries in the world accept that with an easier process for immigration, lower corporate tax rates and allow freedom of speech? Not many, if any at all.
The key here is work ethic. If you don't have the work or strive to be the best in America and want to play a victim or social card, it won't work here anymore. If you are upset about Trumps social policies based on economic standing or racial/gender status, there isn't a single law out there inhibiting someone from being capable of their goal. Delusional.
